Chapter 62: Surprise
Liu Xie and Chu Yi walked in plainclothes in a village under Linzi, and Tai Shici was close to him.
Liu Xie looked at the people's faces with smiles on their faces, and he also had a faint sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Thinking of the suffering homeless people he saw before who gnawed on tree bark and ate the dead, and then looked at the people who were now satisfied, he felt much more comfortable.
When Liu Xie saw an old man walking on the road, he stopped and said with a smile: "This old cane, how are you living now?" How does it compare to the original? ”
The old man saw that the three of them were gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, not like ordinary people, so he couldn't help but be a little respectful: "I don't know who these adults are?" ”
Chu Yi said with a smile: "We came to the countryside on the order of the Son of Heaven to learn about the specific situation of the people, and then report to the Son of Heaven." ”
When the old man heard this, he was immediately excited: "It turns out that the Son of Heaven is so concerned about us!" Adults must report to the Son of Heaven when they go back, we can now be fed and clothed warmly, this is all a gift from the Son of Heaven, and we are all grateful! I only have one son, and a few days ago I found a relative for him and asked him to enlist in the army and go to Zhichong Mansion, not so that he could save that little bit of taxes, but to repay the kindness of the Son of Heaven! This is all the kindness of the Son of Heaven, we haven't had such a good life in years......"
The old man had some preambles and afterwords, but he praised Liu Xie vigorously, and he couldn't help but cry when he talked about emotion. Before the Son of Heaven came, even if Xun Yu and Liu Bei were successively governed, they were almost waiting for death for people like them whose fields were exploited cleanly. But as soon as the Son of Heaven arrived, he not only opened a warehouse to provide grain, but also redistributed the fields, which gave many people hope to live!
What's more, the Son of Heaven also kept the tax very low, only one of the twenty taxes! You must know that less than one-third of the grain they had to pay before, they were considered local officials who loved the people like children!
Now in the hearts of the common people, Liu Xie's status is infinitely close to the gods.
Liu Xie listened to the old man's words of gratitude, and it was precisely because the old man didn't know his identity that his smile became brighter: "I don't know, can the old man eat meat in clothes?" ”
Seventy people eat meat, and the people are not hungry or cold, but those who are not kings are not not. Liu Xie felt that this should be his minimum goal.
The old man was stunned, and then smiled happily: "Thanks to His Majesty the Emperor, you can eat a meal of fish and meat in ten days and half a month now!" ”
Liu Xie's smile froze.
The two sides separated, Liu Xie walked for a while, bit his lip and asked, "Chu Qing, is it difficult to eat meat in clothes?" ”
Except for the period of escape, Liu Xie never cut off chicken, duck and fish meat at every meal, and often threw it away when he couldn't finish it.
In his opinion, this should not be something particularly difficult. But when he saw that the old man said that he could eat a meal of fish and meat in ten days and half a month, he looked satisfied, and a sad feeling arose in his heart.
Just like when he was fleeing, he saw that the people were not clothed and hungry, but they wanted to give him the best.
Chu Yi smiled slightly: "Well, for the people, it is difficult to be able to eat meat every day." ”
"Am I still not kingly?"
"Your Majesty is now only ruling one state and one county, and only rescuing the people of one state and one county, how can you talk about the royal road?"
Liu Xie stopped talking, went out of the village to ride a horse, and went around other villages, and it was getting late, so he returned to the palace.
Tai Shi Ci and Chu Yi walked out of the palace, and Tai Shi Ci sighed: "Although Your Majesty is young, he is so concerned about the people, and he is really a saint in the second life." ”
"It may not be a saint, but it should be able to become a wise monarch for thousands of years." Chu Yi grinned, sure enough, the emperor wants to educate from a young age. Now Liu Xie's progress has even exceeded Chu Yi's expectations.
"By the way, in a few days, Second Master Guan will lead the army to conquer Jizhou, His Majesty intends to order the Tiger Camp to follow, can Brother Ziyi be ready?"
Tai Shi Ci stroked his beautiful beard and laughed loudly: "Chu Sinong, don't worry, the Tiger Benying will never lose to anyone!" ”
Tai Shici's life goal is to use a three-foot long sword to ascend to the Heavenly Son Rank. Although it has been from jumping to Captain Tiger Ben in just a few months, it is still far from enough.
And now if you want to be promoted to an official and receive a knighthood, the best way is to fight and make meritorious contributions!
Separated from Tai Shici, the smile on Chu Yi's face narrowed a little, in fact, he was still having a headache about the choice of military division.
Chu Yi couldn't help but say to himself: "It's really not good, let Yang Xiu go with Tian Feng and 'him'?" ”
A few days ago, Yang Xiu came back from Yuzhou, and the main purpose of his visit to Yuzhou this time was to consider Sun Jian's credibility. And Yang Xiu's evaluation of Sun Jian is still relatively high, thinking that he can basically be entrusted with important tasks, which is expected by Chu Yi.
But Chu Yi felt that Yang Xiu's political ability was far greater than his military ability, and he felt that he was not a material to be a military advisor......
Chu Yi was worried, and suddenly heard someone in front of him ask, "Dare to ask where Lord Xun Wenruo's mansion is?" ”
Chu Yi subconsciously raised his head, only to see two unkempt people questioning passers-by.
"What are you looking for Xun Wen?" Chu Yi walked over curiously.
The two beggar-like people suddenly raised their heads and shouted in surprise: "Zizhang? ”
Chu Yi was startled when he heard that these two people could actually say their words in one mouth. And you must know that there are not many people who are qualified to call him directly today.
Chu Yi looked at the two of them carefully, and suddenly stepped forward and hugged the two of them in surprise and joy: "Gongda!" Yuan Chang! It's you! ”
These two people are Xun You and Zhong Xuan! For Chu Yi, the unkempt two at the moment are definitely more attractive than the peerless beauty Diao Chan!
Chu Yi dragged the hands of the two of them, as if he was afraid that the two of them would fly with wings: "Come on, come on, don't talk about it, come to my house and sit down first!" ”
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Xun You Zhong Xuan didn't care about being polite, they were indeed embarrassed enough now.
On the way, Chu Yi asked curiously, "How did you two escape from Chang'an?" ”
Zhong Xuan explained with a wry smile: "That's the case, didn't Yuan Highway attack Liu Jingsheng a few days ago?" At that time, Liu Jingsheng asked Chang'an for help, and Dong Thief himself still had many problems that had not been solved, so he naturally did not send troops, but gave Liu Jingsheng the title of Jingzhou Mu. ”
Chu Yi clapped his hands and laughed: "Oh, I know, since Liu Jingsheng was promoted to Jingzhou Mu, he naturally wanted to award the seal ribbon, and Dong Zhuo chose you?" ”
Zhong Xuan said: "Sort of, it was Gongda who bought the corresponding officials, so he was chosen." And I took the opportunity to take the opportunity to pretend to be his attendant. But although I escaped, I was also very embarrassed along the way! ”
The two boast that there are thousands of ravines in their chests, but they have no power to control, and they are still choked by reality, and they really don't feel glorious.
"Jiang Shang is fishing Weishui, and Confucius is trapped in Chen Cai. The two can only say that it is bad luck. Chu Yi didn't care, he felt very cool now, "I can't hide it, I'm very happy with the arrival of the two!" Finally, we can solve the urgent need here in Qingzhou! ”
Although Xun You is embarrassed now, his eyes are still as wise and profound as before, and he smiled: "Is it a matter of conquest of Yuan Shao?" ”
Chu Yi nodded heavily: "That's right, it's time to fuck him!" ”.
